Not all of the violence so far this weekend took place near nightclubs. The night began with a separate shooting in northwest Houston where a man was shot around 10:30 p.m. Friday. That incident happened on Antoine near West Little York. As officers arrived, they found a man covered in blood who was attempting to damage vehicles in the area. The man ran into an apartment where he poured hot sauce on himself in a possible attempt to cover up the blood, according to Houston police. He was taken into custody. The victim, who was shot in the torso several times, was expected to survive.
